Odaily Planet Daily News: Cryptocurrency lawyer John Deaton calls for transparency regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding former US SEC official William Hinman. Deaton stated that it is necessary to publicly release the SEC Inspector General (IG) report on Hinman's potential conflicts of interest. In a series of X posts, Deaton emphasized that outgoing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler or incoming Chairman Paul Atkins need to release the results of the Inspector General's investigation. He also stated that any credible investigation would confirm that violations of the US financial conflict of interest laws occurred, saying, 'With these facts, you can prove violations of 18 USC 208,' citing federal laws that prohibit conflicts of interest in government positions. He pointed out that although the SEC Inspector General's report may not have found evidence of improper conduct by officials, the public has the right to understand the investigation's results.
